unrEVOked

Whether it is because you want to have super user permissions on your smartphone, you want to flash the kernels that can be overclocked or you just want to flash a custom ROM, there are numerous reasons why you may consider rooting your Android device.

unrEVOked is flashing application that enables you to replace the standard stock Android recovery with a custom one that packs several tweaks and permissions on HTC smartphones.

Since the program is portable, it means that you can use it as soon as you download it to your computer.  The tool includes a user-friendly interface that can guide you through the process as soon as you connect your device to the computer and enable USB debugging. Afterwards, you need to install the HBOOT drivers for the app to run smoothly.

As indicated in the UI, you need to make sure that the HTC Sync is not installed or active when using the tool. It is important to note that if you get an error stating that your firmware is too new and you are not running Wildfire, the developers suggest trying to uninstall other apps.

Once you have the required components installed and the program recognizes your HTC device, then you can follow the instructions on the screen and that's it. While it may seem that your phone does not work, keep in mind that the reboot can take some time. Refrain from resetting it by removing its battery.

Considering the nature of the application, you should bear in mind that using the utility comes with no warranties and hence, you are using it at your own risk. The program works with only a handful of apps, so make sure to check if your device is on that list before using it.

In the eventuality that you want to root an HTC smartphone so that you can enjoy a wide variety of perks and more flexibility in customizing your Android phone, then perhaps unrEVOked could come in handy.
